Why the migration error? Why two different versions? They should use the same… The new server [Skærmbillede 2022-10-15 kl. 08.19.08] The old server [Skærmbillede 2022-10-15 kl. 08.23.40]

[image] frold: EXCEPTION: You're trying to restore a more recent version of the schema. You should migrate first You should upgrade the recipient system before upgrading

How? As shown per images it should be the same version

They are on different commits of beta10 (check the blue text below the installed version) Just rebuild the recipient instance and then the migration should work.

[image] Bhanu Sharma: recipient The old server: Welcome to Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-194-generic x86_64) The new server: Welcome to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-50-generic x86_64) Could it be related to that? I try to rebuild the new server by cd /var/discourse ./launcher rebuild app

[image] frold: Could it be related to that? No, host system doesn’t matter. [image] frold: I try to rebuild the new server by Yes, that should be enough

It wasnt enough Im getting the same error :frowning: [2022-10-15 06:59:36] [STARTED] [2022-10-15 06:59:36] 'frold' has started the restore! [2022-10-15 06:59:36] Marking restore as running...

You should install the discourse-chat plugin on your new server before restoring. That migration belongs to chat, not to discourse core.

Failed restore - You should migrate first?

No, host system doesn’t matter.

Yes, that should be enough
